35 years since Clapham
This month marks the 35th anniversary of the Clapham Junction Rail Disaster an event which continues to have significant importance to the railway industry.
Clapham highlighted the need for those working on signalling and telecommunications infrastructure to be certified as competent to carry out their safety critical tasks. The IRSE Licensing Scheme was born in response to this need. The lessons learned from Clapham are still relevant throughout the global rail industry.
On its 25th anniversary, the IRSE ran a special seminar, the papers from which are available on our website.
